real quick stuff as i prowl the web a little on this friday afternoon.

we saw soulwax live last night and their ‘nite versions’ stuff was pretty great fun live, but i think watching them play it and feeling the bass literally rumble your guts is part of the enjoyment. i’m fairly sure on disc the album would bore me pretty quickly. and since we’re not jobless artsy club kids, we did not have the power in us to stay until 2am on a thursday night to see their 2manyDJs set, which was really a let down since that’s the main reason i went. lucky for me i got in free through a hookup.

catbirdseat’s ‘best of 2006’ music blogger cheat sheet is fucking brilliant and if they had included the mountain goats they might have had my prelim list 8/10. i’ll probably put a few more less artsy, more poppy albums on there, but then, that’s why i’m not a music blogger and just an all-around cool dude.

most importantly/surprisingly/interestingly, is that via the new gawker music site idolator, i hopped over here for the new my chemical romance song, and SHOCKING: i totally love it. not kidding an ounce. the resonator guy compares it to queen which i think is dead on and great, but no joke, i’ve listened to it about 10 times in the last couple hours. most triumphant!
